Now that i think about it even the subtle troll thread below this thread the OP just suddenly leaves and never comes back.

They rarely do.

 

I've found there are two main types of trolls.  

The hit and run troll.  These trolls post an instigating piece of data and then run like hell.  They usually know they are wrong, hence why they don't reply, or discover they were wrong but cannot admit to their fallacy.

The religious troll.  These trolls create an entire belief structure out of their opinion and hold fast to it so tight, no amount of contradictory data will waiver their belief.

Oh man, you don't know how much I want to give you an obvious medal as well! xD

ReallY? WHY"? Anyway, how many of these joke threads are there anyway?

Well, there's a few other joke threads, like this one: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=54643



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Who cares? Wii beat PS2's best week this week, just to remind the peeps that forgot



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I admit Im one of them, im a anti leo-j though trestres was extreme but after my brother purchase a 360 and disappointed with it atleast on the games we bought so far, being religous fanboy was pointless. There are games thats in the wii version that wasnt in the 360 and vice versa, even the PS3 ones. Im buying games on the 360 like Prince of Persia because the Wii dont have it.

 



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

Like I said anyone who says that comparing Wii to Gamcube is an insult can suck a lolipop for all I care. Stealth trolling my ass Gamcube was awesome AND YES I DO OWN BOTH A GAMECUBE AND A WII. I'll change the first picture and you'll find that it doesn't change the argument one bit. Wii is not much more powerful then Gamecube and so what so long as it's fun it doesn't matter. I guess to some people not being a fanboy makes you a troll.

you realize that it is about 3x as powerful and can use shaders and other things the gamecube could not right?

CPU
GC 485 Mhz
Wii 729 Mhz

RAM
GC 43 mb
Wii 88 mb
And the Wii's ram is at a higher speed than the GC's

Internal storage
GC 0
Wii 512 mb

Disc Size
GC 1.5 gb
Wii 8.54 gb (dual layer)

The Wii is noticeably more powerful than the xbox, which was noticeably more powerful than the GC, which was noticeably more powerful than the PS2

 totaly with you spdk1, The wii is noticable more powerful then a GC, its weather or not the developers embrace that extra power or not. I dont seem to understand the 'insult' part of the op though. Is he saying its not an insault to compare the 2? either I've missed your point or its not an insault to compare anything to anything lol making that statement pointless. thoes screenshots actually show a big improvement, textures, through to lighting through to pollygons.

BUT!!! It is an insault to say the wii is just a gc with motion controles, because its alot more then that. but to say 'comparison' is just the wrong word, comparing is something you do. Its like if i were insaulted because you compared an orange to an apple. One is orange and juicy, the other is red/green and crunchy. That doesnt insault any one, its just an observation.



If at first you don't succeed, you fail

Well comparing it to GC is an honour it is comparing it to PS2 which is an insult!



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

I loved the GC. Had a lot of great games. But man its crazy that 2 years into the Wii's lifecycle and I already have the same amount of Wii games that I did GC games.
